New OSHA Outreach Program Cards Coming in March!

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), in an effort to reduce fraud, improve efficiency and benefit workers, is introducing new and improved Outreach Training Program trainer and student course completion cards for construction, general industry, maritime and disaster site worker. All OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers will be participating in the new Outreach card program starting March 1, 2016.

  • Cards will be individualized for both trainers and students in construction, general industry, maritime, and disaster site workers
  • Cards will be made of a plastic (credit card style) durable card stock with a standardized look including OSHA logo, OTI Education Center logo, and a QR code for authentication
  • With the enhancement and additional fraud protection on the new Outreach cards, the OTI Education Centers will increase the fee for cards from the current $5.00 per card to $8.00 per card as of March 1, 2016

Replacement Cards will be available through the issuing OTI Education Center. Additional fees will apply and may vary.

 

Implementation Schedule:
The new cards and electronic verification database for all in-person trainings will be implemented on March 1, 2016.

 

Electronic Verification:
All Outreach cards will include a QR code linking to a website, allowing employers and workers to verify the authenticity of each card.

 

Online Outreach 10- and 30-Hour Training:
Students completing online courses receive the current paper card until further notice.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the OSHA Training Center at otc@clpccd.org or refer to www.osha.gov/dte/outreach.
